Forget willing your property to a long-time partner, the law doesn't recognise her; Don't dance too hard in a gay party, you could be booked for indecent behaviour; Facing domestic violence? If you are a gay man, the law doesn't protect you. While the country awaits the Supreme Court's judgement on Section 377, lawyers and activists turn their attention to other laws and attitudes that fail to recognise the rights of LGBT persons

February 11, 2010: Srinivas Ramchandra Siras, Chairman of the Modern Indian Languages department of the Aligarh Muslim University, was suspended because of a video of Siras having consensual sex with another man. The recording was made by local TV reporters and cameramen as a 'sting operation'. AMU Vice Chancellor reportedly said that he would not allow a homosexual to reside and teach in the campus. Siras then approached the Allahabad High Court, which stayed the suspension order on April 2. The court did not comment on the professor's sexual orientation, but stated that the disciplinary action taken by AMU was not valid. Five days later, the reinstated professor was found dead in his apartment.
